I have.been comparing cowboy days with the present (in my mind), hence this piece of poetry. * A short time since The cows were sad, And scarce could raise Their heads, be dad; Their hoofs were sore, Their tails were limp, And tails and mane Had lost their crimp; And miles they trudged From .grass to drink, The scarce had Strength enough to wink.

HOUSE PASSED REPEAL MEASURE

Speaker Champ Clark Took the Floor Against Administration Policy-Majority Was 86. The house of representatives Tuesday night after a spectacular struggle passed the administration measure repealing the provision of free tolls through the Panama canal to American coastwise vessels. The vote stood 247 to 161. The most dramatic feature of the contest was the speech made by Champ Clark, speaker of the house, in opposition to the repeal. There were 52 democrats voted against the Wilson policy and stood in favor of the platform declaration of the democratic party. Majority Leader Underwpod, of the democratic party, was also apposed to. repeal. Speaker Clark made it plain that his opposition was based upon conviction and in no manner opposed to the president Ihimself. He said that he knew that in making this fight for the fulfillment of the platform pledge of his party might end his public career. He said: ‘There are many things worse than being defeated for the presidency and one of them is to repudiate the platform on which you are elected.” Continuing, he said: “To whom does the Panama canal belong, anyway? To the United States of America. We built it at the enormous cost Of $400,000,000. We built it on American soil. We have fortified it; we will control it. We' built it primarily and almost entirely for our own benefit and secondarily for the world’s benefit. I would rather see the canal walled up than give Great Britain control of it. I had rather see it filled up with granite boulders than to yield one iota of control over it to any foreign nation.” This was the signal for the opponents of tolls repeal to open up their strongest batteries of applause and the chamber rang with the din of cheers and Shouts for several moments. Holding the interest to the end the speaker remained a commanding figure, interrupted by applause constantly as he proceeded. Almost prayerfully, be concluded, lowering his heavy voice to say: “now may the God of our fathers who nerved 3,000,000 backwoods Americans to fling their guage of battle into the face of the mightiest monorch in the world; wbo guided the hand of Jefferson in writing the charter of liberty, who sustained Washington and his ragged and starving army amid the awful horrors of Valley Forge, and who gave them complete victory in the bloodstained heights of Yorktown, may He lead members to vote so as to prevent this stupendous folly—this unquestionable degredation of,the American republic.” Speaker Clark had finished. He had defended his position, praised the president whom he opposed; expressed admiration of his colleagues with whom he differed on this question; chided those who had assailed him and sugar-coated instead of tarring the situation. As he walked from his place, the house arose en masse, democrats, republicans, progressives, alike, and cheered him. When order could be restored Representative Adamson took the floor to close the long debate. Republican Leader Mann told the house three questions were involved in a repeal Of the Panama tolls exemption; treaty rights, moral rights apart from treaty construction and the economic policy involved. The economic ‘question might be changed at any time, he said, but a decision on treaty rights must be a lasting one. He maintained that no construction of the Hay-Paunce-fote treaty compelled the United States to charge the same tolls on its own ships or those of Panama as were levied on those of other nations. “A reading oLthe rules to be observed by nations to receive equal treatment,” he said," plainly discloses that they are not applicable to the United States or Panama. "England’s attempt to secure her construction of the treaty* at this time is not for its present effect It is for the long distant future. If we construe the treaty according to the English claims, it Is sure to, rise and embarrass us whenever we have war with other countries. War is not desirable, but it is inevitable. We oannot always maintain peace. “If we agree nbw to the English construction, it is certain that in the future when we have a war with Japan or China, or some other country, questions will arise in reference to their use and our use of the canal, , especially as to war vessels and in that time of stress we will be met with the contention by England, the present ally of Japan, or by some other country, that W e have already construed that treaty in sudh a way that we cannot protect the canal without bringing a protest from England, or other countries, which will embarrass, If not defeat us in the war. T want to treat England foirly, but I believe that under the con-

Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks Of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had prompt relief. Over three years ago I first used them and they proved so satisfactory that I. have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Dr. S. H. Moore Did Not Intend to Skip Out, He Says.

Dr. 8. H. Moore, 85 years of age and quite feeble, has been having some financial troubles recently that have worried him a great deal and that are very unfortunate, coming as they do, at his advanced age. « Some two years ago. he purchased an automobile of Dr. J. H. Hansson, giving a note for S6OO in part payment.- t)r. Hansson sold the note to D. S. Makeever, who was compelled to sue to enforce payment. Judgment was rendered for about $650, in the Newton circuit court to which it had been venued. Indications pointed to the doctor’s departure for California, Where he has a daughter living, and an execution was issued "against him. Monday Judge Hanley in his chambers heard evidence which tended to show that the doctor was planning to leave Indiana and go to the home of a daughter in California and that he was concealing some property so that it could not 'be attached. It was shown that he had drawn $1,378 from the First National Bank, taking a draft for the money. He admitted that the had done so and claimed to owe the money to his daughter. It was shown that he had a so cured note for $238 on Ancil Potts and an account against George W. Casey and the court ordered that he turn these over to Makeever. Deputy Sheriff Grant went to him to procure the note and account and the doctor could not find them. He gave a bond for SI,OOO, signed by George McElfreSh. He promised to produce the note Tuesday morning, but when Deputy Grant went to his office hefound the door locked and after gaining admission found the doctor gone. Indications pointed to a well planned departure. Almost everything of value was missing. At 11 o’clock Tuesday night, however, the doctor returned home and put up at the MakeeVer hotel. He said he had been to Chicago on business and that he had left the note protruding from his ledger on a chair at the entrance of the office, so that it could be found and had written a note saying that it should be given to Attorney Parkinson. The note, he now says, has again been lost. Dr. Moore was at one time a quite wealthy man, but during recent years bis fortunes have declined and for a long time be has lived in an office over the Model Clothing Store and this has been very unsanitary and dirty and Mr. Leopold has been trying for a long time to get him out. Shortly after noon today he was looking for the sheriff or his deputy to explain his good intentions in leaving the note. He says that he may go to California after he gets things straightened up and visit for two or three weeks with his daughter at Los Angele.., '
